Rebound exercise (or “rebounding”) is a type of elastically leveraged low-impact exercise
usually
performed
on a
device known as a rebounder—sometimes called a "mini-trampoline"—which is directly descended from
regular
sports
or athletic trampolines.
Some of the basic movements and actions of rebound exercise include bouncing in place (sometimes
also
called
"jumping" or the Basic Bounce), jumping jacks, twists, side-to-side motions, running in place, dance
movements, and a wide variety of other movements, patterned or un-patterned, with or without the use
of
hand-weights or other accessories. A wide variety of physical and other benefits are claimed for
rebound
exercise, which experienced a tremendous upsurge of interest in the mid-1980s. A rebound exercise
program
can
focus on aerobics, strength, or just simple easy non-jarring movement, depending on the needs of the
person
bouncing.
